  Error Message
  W_CB487: Valid To &1 for condition record is not a valid date
  
  Cause
  This warning message occurs during the creation or maintenance of condition records in SAP (typically in Pricing or other condition technique areas). The system checks the validity period of the condition record, specifically the "Valid To" date field.
  The cause of this message is that the "Valid To" date entered for the condition record is either:
  
  Not a valid date format.
  Earlier than the "Valid From" date.
  A date that does not exist (e.g., 31st of February).
  Outside the allowed date range defined in the system.
  Possibly blank or zero date (00000000).
  
  
  Explanation
  In SAP condition records, each record has a validity period defined by two dates:
  
  Valid From: The start date from which the condition is effective.
  Valid To: The end date until which the condition is effective.
  
  The system requires these dates to be valid calendar dates and logically consistent (Valid To >= Valid From).
  If the "Valid To" date is invalid or inconsistent, SAP raises this warning to prevent incorrect pricing or condition application.
  
  Solution
  To resolve this warning:
  
  
  Check the "Valid To" date entered:
  
  Ensure it is a valid calendar date.
  Ensure it is not earlier than the "Valid From" date.
  Ensure it is within the allowed date range (usually within the current fiscal year or system-defined limits).
  
  
  
  Correct the date format:
  
  Use the correct date format as per SAP settings (usually YYYYMMDD or DD.MM.YYYY depending on locale).
  
  
  
  If the date is blank or zero:
  
  Enter a valid date or use a far future date (e.g., 99991231) if the condition is meant to be open-ended.
  
  
  
  Check for system date settings or user input errors:
  
  Sometimes, user input errors or copy-paste mistakes cause invalid dates.
  
  
  
  If the error persists:
  
  Check if there are any custom validations or user exits that might be enforcing additional date rules.
  Review OSS notes or SAP support for any known bugs related to this message.
